Dustin Lapradd (23) "One of the most active IP addresses downloading child porn"

[boogieman]

A 23-year-old former University of Virginia student has been arrested on child pornography charges.

Dustin James Lapradd was a student at UVa’s Curry School of Education but is not currently enrolled at UVa, according to Carol Wood, school spokeswoman.

Wood could not say what year Lapradd was. It’s unclear whether Lapradd plans to return or if he would even be allowed back.

Furthermore, authorities could not say whether Lapradd was studying to become a teacher or whether he had been working with children in a student-teacher or similar capacity.

The Moneta resident was charged Tuesday with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, according to UVa police Lt. Melissa Fielding.

If convicted on all charges, Lapradd faces up to 50 years in prison.

An Internet Crimes Against Children task force handled the investigation, which was headed by UVa police.

Police executed a search warrant on April 10 at Hench dorm on Massie Road, where Lapradd lived, according to the warrant.

Police seized a computer and other electronic devices at the apartment. The IP address allegedly traced to Lapradd “stood out because it is one of the most active IP addresses according to the ICAC task force for the Charlottesville area for downloading and distributing child pornography.”

ICAC uses an automated program that accesses peer-to-peer child pornography networks. Using the program, ICAC linked the IP address for Lapradd’s computer to 40 child pornography files between Sept. 28 and March 29, according to the search warrant.

One file included a color video of a naked 3- to 4-year-old girl being sexually abused in a bathtub, according to the search warrant.

Lapradd remains free on $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear today in Albemarle General District Court.

Charlottesville and Albe-marle police also have investigators with ICAC and helped with the investigation.

They are always education majors or already teachers.  :|




Glad they caught him.  Sick fuck.

Pedobear is not here to make light on the situation.  He just is an obligatory inclusion for these threads.

It's great that they got this guy, but where did the porn come from? Find these people. The person looking at the porn is no where near as bad as the person making it.

Agreed. That poor little girl. This stuff hits close to home and I wish they would just take all these sick fucks, throw them into a pit and burn them alive.

I know, right?  I mean, the people looking at it are scum but these people making it are the ones who should be strung up in the middle of town.

I wonder how hard it is to trace them.  I'd have no idea, since I wouldn't even know where to even start looking for any sort of child porn.  Are there websites pedos go to to get it?  There should be a trail somewhere that some computer geek could follow.

I think there are some websites and stuff... (i've never seen any though.... Except those pre-teen modeling sites where you had to pay like $50 to see a pre-teen model in her underwear, but it "wasn't sexually explicit and is in no way linked to pedophile activity" Yeah..Right... I was so amazed that those sites were allowed to run, But i think I heard somewhere that they were finally able to shut them down.)


   But for the most part, I think that most cases stem from peer to peer downloading through things like Kazaa and Limewire. (Just judging from how badly flooded with child porn they are, and i have read  about a lot of pedo's getting busted through those.)

It hits close to home for me too. I agree with you about what I'd to see done with these sick fuckers.

Wow! 50 years, if he was here in the U.K he'd probably get a slap on the wrist and put on the sex offenders register- i wish the U.K would dish out sentances to paedophiles like America.

Just went on the sentencing guildlines website for the U.K there are 20 pages for child pornography (too much to copy on here) but here's the site if anyone is interested
http://www.sentencing-guidelines.gov.uk/advice/index.html#childporn

This is the first sentence of the document -

At the request of the Court of Appeal, this latest proposal from the Sentencing
Advisory Panel deals with sentencing for offences involving indecent photographs or
pseudo-photographs of children. The maximum penalty for possession of such images is
5 years’ imprisonment. For making, showing or distributing the material, the maximum
is 10 years.

disgusting

It's taken me this long to google my ex-boyfriend's name and find what has been posted about him...I know no one may ever read this, but it's something I have to write.
If someone would have told me that that picture of Dusty that I took on my boat the summer we were first dating would show up on here years later with a caption like "disgusting. I'm glad they caught him" I would have told them to get out of my house. The actual context of the photo was in reference to a Family Guy episode where Lois goes crazy and learns karate and grabs her husband Peter's crotch in a fit of testosterone and says "this is mine! this is where my babies come from!" It was a show that we both enjoyed watching together as it shared our crazy sense of humor. I took a very candid picture of him adjusting himself and posted it on my MySpace, thinking he would get a kick out of it in reference to the show.
I can't believe that all of this has happened to him...when we were close, I knew him as one of the most caring, intelligent, loving human beings I had ever encountered. I love him very much and would never wish any of this to happen to him.
I can understand the anger and disgust. When I see other people on television that are arrested for child related or sexual related discretion with minors or anyone it makes me feel sick to my stomach. But when I saw him...it made me question how much the media is good for our knowledge base. How much we really don't look at the people that are in the mug shots. They could be anyone. And to automatically jump to a conclusion about who they are and where they came from and label them as evil is something terrible. I know not as terrible as the victims of sexual abuse, being one of those people as I was sexually abused as a child, but to ruin someone that has so much to give that just housed so much pain...
In my heart, I know he isn't guilty...whether you read this and think that I'm blinded by the fact that I know him and what the court decides is another matter. And the hardest thing for me is to know that anyone who doesn't know him will never get to know him because of the label that has been placed up on him. He is branded. Child molester. Child pornographer. He is neither.
If this makes anyone angry, let it. I don't care. All I ask is that you read into every article you see on the news. Really listen. Really research everything you hear before you form an emotional opinion. Take the time. Or don't have an opinion. The news stories are real people. You or a loved one can be the next mug shot on the local news 3 years down the road and you don't even know it yet.

[Chauncy]

So basically you are  saying he just liked jerking off to child porn?

[ApRyL]

we know it, that's why we don't watch kids being raped.

I'd like to hear your version of innocent.

[Chauncy]

Yeah sounds like a caring guy.

[PunkerDuckie]

So your saying someone hacked into his computer and put 40 files of child porn on there without his knowledge?



Yeah I let other people download kiddie porn on my computer all the time. Lets be realistic here. If he was so innocent, why did he have/distribute the stuff? "research purposes?" :2embarrassed:

Well the distrubuting charge could be misleading. They may have just said he did because it happens naturally on peer to peer network sites. Other people can upload while you are downloading and you may not even be aware. That is what that could have meant. The real question is if he obtained the files himself and then uploaded them. I see no mention of that so it is probably the former.

Either way, he was downloading and beating off to some very sick shit. He is a very disturbed individual.

I wasn't gonna respond in this thread, but I do want to point out a situation that was similar to this.  I know a guy who was caught for the same reasons here, except for the fact that it was only 2 or 3 files, not 40.  What happened, is he set up a whole shitload of stuff to download through limewire before he went to work and accidentally got some of these kiddie porn files.

Anyone whose ever used Limewire or Kazaa knows that file names through those programs can be VERY misleading.  That's why it's extremely stupid to download a large amount of files at one time through there (or if you're like me, don't use those programs AT ALL).  Anyway, my friend there never actually looked at any of he files that he downloaded, so he had no idea what was on his computer until the cops showed up at his work to arrest him.

He's not innocent, because he was stupid.  He got the minimum sentence of about 3 years (even the judge knew he wasn't a pedo, and said as much at the sentencing) and doesn't have to register once he's out, but that's three years of his life he's losing because he did something dumb.  He accepts it, and is about to go do his time.  

And yeah, the cops got him because of that automatic seeding, or whatever it's clled.  The cops actually downloaded the criminal files.

I guess the moral of the story is one word, people :  Torrents.

[PunkerDuckie]

I <3 torrents even more now.

[bowieluva]

Mehhhhh.

You know, my mom's closest cousin comes from a seriously fucked background without getting into it. Anyway she met this guy and everyone was so excited because he seemed soooo nice and normal. They bought a house together and lived across from a children's park because 'he wanted kids'.  Yeah, he sure did.

We went there for dinner one night. I was maybe 12. He was VERY interested in me. In what I did after school, my hobbies, etc. My step dad was like red flag red flag. At one point, he told me he wanted to show me some kittens in the backyard. My step dad was like WHOA CRAZY I ALSO LOVE KITTENS and went with us. He was super sure to make certain I wasn't alone with the guy. My mom and cousin didn't pick up on anything at all. They thought Kevin was being a weirdo. But I was getting a super weird vibe too. He kept telling me I should have a sleepover so they could spend more time with me and I was like 'dude. Do you know what I did on my 12th birthday? Broke into my friend's parent's liquor cabinet, got wasted and puked. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.'

Anyway, Kevin was like 'Sabrina can never go there, and can never be alone with that guy' and my mom was like 'you're just being a douche cos you're a guy and all guys think every other man is a rapist.'

He ended up dying in a freak plane crash. My mom's cousin was beside herself. Then, as she was collecting his things, she found a loose floorboard. He was an amateur photographer, see. She found a box of photographs of him having sex with other women, men and kids. And other people having sex with kids and so on.

She was so freaked out. And in total denial. She had lived with him for years. She thought she knew him inside and out.

Sometimes we can't see what we don't want to.
